Wade,

Yes I am running the EEC-IV with an added programmable card. The card allows me to modify most of the computer parameters. I am currently running 34 degrees total at 2500 rpm, 32 degrees at 3500 rpm and 30 degrees at 5000 rpm. I do not use a boost retard box.

The SPOUT jumper was removed when setting the base timing.

I had the car disassembled to save it in my divorce. I may have installed the wrong timing pointer. I am also going to dig out my piston stop and degree wheel to so I know where TDC is for sure.

The supercharger has a 14psi head. My boost gage is connected to the intake manifold and reads 15 psi at 6000 rpm and was pegged when I over reved to about 7000rpm.

With this much boost and the large advance, everything I read would indicate detonation. The sensor did not detect any detonation.

I run 93 octance gas and boost it to 97 octane with an octane booster.

Something just does not seem correct. I know my motor is tired and maybe the blow by combined with the long duration cam is limiting my peak pressure in the cylinder.

Fred
